# Email System Fixes

## Issues Addressed

### 1. Email Credentials Not Found Errors
- **Problem**: The system was trying to fetch emails even when no credentials were present
- **Solution**: 
  - Added session ID check in `EmailThreadView` before attempting to fetch emails
  - Modified `fetch-thread` API to return empty results instead of throwing errors when credentials are missing
  - Added proper session cleanup in `EmailCommunication` component

### 2. 502 Gateway Timeout Errors
- **Problem**: Email fetching was causing timeouts, especially when editing/saving interest cards
- **Solution**:
  - Reduced email fetch limit from 50 to 20 emails
  - Added 15-second timeout for IMAP connections
  - Prevented unnecessary email fetches when no session exists

### 3. EOI Generation Issues
- **Problem**: EOI generation was failing due to missing Address field and configuration issues
- **Solution**:
  - Made Address field optional with default value "Not Provided"
  - Added environment variable validation for `NUXT_DOCUMENSO_API_KEY` and `NUXT_DOCUMENSO_BASE_URL`
  - Improved error messages to indicate when configuration is missing or fields need to be filled
  - Required fields are now: Full Name, Email Address, Yacht Name, Length, Width, Depth

### 4. Interest Save Failures
- **Problem**: Interest updates were failing with authentication errors
- **Solution**:
  - Updated `update-interest.ts` API to accept both x-tag headers ("094ut234" and "pjnvü1230")
  - Now both authenticated and unauthenticated users can save interest updates

### 5. Email Signature Formatting
- **Problem**: Logo was appearing below the signature details
- **Solution**:
  - Moved Port Nimara logo to the top of the signature
  - Logo now appears above the name with proper spacing

### 6. Email Refresh Not Showing New Emails
- **Problem**: New emails from clients weren't appearing after refresh
- **Solution**:
  - Enhanced IMAP search to include CC and BCC fields
  - Now searches in multiple folders: INBOX, Sent, Sent Items, Sent Mail
  - Better email detection for comprehensive thread retrieval

### 7. EOI Document Generation Issues
- **Problem**: EOI documents were created but stuck in draft status with non-working links
- **Solution**:
  - Fixed response structure to match actual Documenso API response
  - Added proper document send step to move from draft to active
  - Changed `sendEmail` to `true` to ensure recipients receive signing emails
  - Correctly extract signing URLs from the response

### 8. 502 Bad Gateway on Container Restart
- **Problem**: Getting 502 errors when refreshing after container restart
- **Solution**:
  - Added better session validation in `fetch-thread` API
  - Added try-catch for decryption failures (session invalid after restart)
  - Client-side now detects 502 errors and clears invalid sessions
  - No error toast shown - just resets to empty email state

### 9. All Interest and Berth APIs Authentication Fixed
- **Problem**: APIs were only accepting one auth header, causing failures for unauthenticated users
- **Solution**: Updated ALL APIs to accept both headers ("094ut234" and "pjnvü1230"):
  - `create-interest.ts` - Create new interests
  - `update-interest.ts` - Update existing interests  
  - `delete-interest.ts` - Delete interests
  - `get-interests.ts` - List all interests
  - `get-interest-by-id.ts` - Get single interest
  - `get-berths.ts` - Get all berths
  - `get-interest-berths.ts` - Get berths linked to interest
  - `link-berths-to-interest.ts` - Link berths to interest
  - `unlink-berths-from-interest.ts` - Unlink berths from interest
  - `link-berth-recommendations-to-interest.ts` - Link berth recommendations
  - `unlink-berth-recommendations-from-interest.ts` - Unlink berth recommendations
  - Added comprehensive logging to all APIs for better debugging

### 10. EOI Status Dropdown Updated
- **Problem**: Missing "Waiting for Signatures" status option
- **Solution**:
  - Added "Waiting for Signatures" as option 2 in EOI Status
  - New order: "Awaiting Further Details" → "Waiting for Signatures" → "Signed"

### 11. 404 Errors for Newly Created Records
- **Problem**: Newly created records sometimes show 404 when immediately updating/linking
- **Solution**:
  - Added retry mechanism with exponential backoff to `updateInterest` function
  - Will retry up to 3 times with increasing delays (1s, 2s, 3s)
  - `get-interest-berths` returns empty list instead of throwing error for new records
  - This handles NocoDB synchronization delays where records need time to propagate
  - After 3 retries, provides detailed error message explaining possible causes

## Required Environment Variables

Make sure these are set in your `.env` file:

```env
# Email Configuration
NUXT_EMAIL_ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-32-character-encryption-key
NUXT_EMAIL_IMAP_HOST=mail.portnimara.com
NUXT_EMAIL_IMAP_PORT=993
NUXT_EMAIL_SMTP_HOST=mail.portnimara.com
NUXT_EMAIL_SMTP_PORT=587
NUXT_EMAIL_LOGO_URL=https://portnimara.com/logo.png

# Documenso Configuration (REQUIRED for EOI generation)
NUXT_DOCUMENSO_API_KEY=your-actual-api-key
NUXT_DOCUMENSO_BASE_URL=https://signatures.portnimara.dev
```

## How It Works Now

1. **Email Session Management**:
   - Sessions are stored in browser's sessionStorage
   - If no session exists, email features are gracefully disabled
   - Users can connect/disconnect at any time

2. **Email Fetching**:
   - Only attempts to fetch when valid session exists
   - Limited to 20 emails to prevent timeouts
   - Falls back to cached emails from MinIO if IMAP fails
   - 15-second timeout prevents hanging connections

3. **EOI Generation**:
   - Validates all required fields before attempting generation
   - Checks for Documenso configuration
   - Returns clear error messages if configuration is missing
   - Inserts client's signing link directly into email body

## Troubleshooting

If you're still experiencing issues:

1. **Check Docker logs**: `docker logs <container-name>`
2. **Verify environment variables are set correctly**
3. **Ensure Documenso API credentials are valid**
4. **Try disconnecting and reconnecting email credentials**
